Ulster Council CEO Danny Murphy says the Football Review Committee's championship recommendations miss the point.

Murphy feels that moves to effectively establish four provinces of eight address the symptom rather than the disease:

"The Football Review Committee report as published recently has much in it to consider," the Down man writes in his detailed report to Annual Convention, which takes place in Monaghan this Saturday.

"From my understanding of its material, I think that we are treating the symptoms and not addressing the overall issue.

"That is [that] some of our Counties are more competitive than others. There has been much said about the inequality of the current structure of our championships, but getting defeated teams involved in another Province is not addressing the need to develop the status of the Counties to where they can compete on an equal basis.

"There are many other matters that need to be examined, and it needs to be stated that the status quo is the benchmark against which these proposals need to be addressed. There is also the need to ensure that our media profile and TV coverage are not further reduced or constrained." Tweet
